I was a playful kid when I was in primary school and did not do so well to land in a good secondary school, but luckily I was able to land in a school with the express stream cut off point of 188 points. From that point onwards, I decided to work hard in order to do well in the GCE 'O' Levels.
I was very happy that I had obtained a B4 in my English Language as it was the first B4 for the subject throughout my entire secondary education life. I had never obtained a B before, usually my English grade will be between D7 and C6.
My results enabled me to choose my further education path in the Junior Colleges as well as in the Polytechnics. However, I chose the Polytechnic route as I wanted to learn more hands on skills rather than keep reading from the textbooks.
I was enrolled into Accounting & Finance in Temasek Polytechnic (TP). I had learn many skills in the course such as presentation skills, interpersonal skills and etc. It was a very enjoyable journey as we made very good friendships throughout the 3 years in TP. There were also many project works back then which require us to write essays for submissions, but there are always group members to help proof read the essays before submission.
After graduation, it was time for all males to be enlisted into the army and we made very good friendships throughout the 2 years of full time National Service period.
Many people would have asked me if I had regretted not enrolling into
the JC but chose the Poly route, as it was much easier to enter into the
universities if I had chosen the JC route. Despite all these questions, my decision will still be the same if I was given a second chance.
I had actually tried for 3 years to be enrolled into NUS Real Estate as I had always wanted to further my education in either NTU or NUS studying Accountancy. Despite all the past failures, I managed to enroll into NUS doing Real Estate as my degree in 2013.
English has always been a problem to me as I do not like to read often hence my vocabulary bank is limited. I will also make grammar mistakes or have sentence structure problems after not writing essays for more than 2 years. I do hope that ES1102 will be able to help me correct all these mistakes and be able to write better essays during exams and during project submissions.
